Reap What You Sew

Do you have a sewing machine? Are you a frugal momma interested in utilizing renewable resources directly from your home/garage sales/resale shops?  Is that box of old flannel baby blankets still in the hall closet because you JUST KNEW you would use them for something - someday?  Do you find yourself nesting in preparation for the little one on the way?  Do you have a mind to create soft, absorbent, personally-tailored diapers for your wee one, but feeling a bit intimidated or just not sure exactly where to begin?  Are you looking for websites that offer inspiration, advice and/or supplies for you to get started?  Well, you have come to the right place. 

Here you will find links to sites offering FREE diaper patterns, directions and frugal diapering suggestions, as well as links to WAHMs owning Online Diaper Supply Stores that have listed in our WAHM DIRECTORY  and carry all the supplies you could need in excess of what you can find in your own home.

In addition - and as a special treat, we also have our Baby Bums + Fabric =  INSPIRATION links to sites were mommas creatively display their own diaper creations for their babies!  Take a peek . . .
